DMK backs Congress, says Vijay lacks stature

CHENNAI: Friend turned foe DMK has supported Congress in the PM candidate debate, which has been rupturing its newfound alliance with the TVK.

The lead opposition party’s spokesperson TKS Elangovan on Monday backed the Congress’s stance on projecting Rahul Gandhi as a prime ministerial candidate over Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay. Elangovan supported Congress leader S Rajeshkumar’s remarks regarding the prime ministerial candidate, questioning TVK’s rationale.
